Our condenser repair and retubing process is highly labor-intensive and time-consuming. Typically, hundreds of tons of tube material have to be removed and replaced several pounds at a time.

Production processes and techniques have to be effectively applied to maintain consistent and efficient movement of the tube material involved. Tens of thousands of tube-to-tube sheet joints have to be properly expanded and controlled, not just for the hydro test but to ensure leak-tight integrity for the remaining life of the plant.
